Citing discontent with the current administration, at least five teachers or staffers at a doomed charter school have already resigned or have plans to not return after the Christmas holidays, The Lens has learned.
Parents and students at Sojourner Truth Academy were told last month that the governing board is surrendering its charter and that the school will close at the end of the academic year in May because of lagging test scores. They’re now faced with a dwindling staff for the second semester.
But former and current faculty said Wednesday that they’ve chosen to leave early not because the school’s impending shutdown, but due to their gripes with the schools’ current principal, Reginald Flenory.
